It’s been years since I AR viewers they smart glasses they threaten to send smartphones into retirement. And that, more generally, technology tries to propose new ways of interacting with products, services and functions of various kinds.
2024 could be the year these devices reach a performance level such as to put the market of the smartphone.
But also watch out for them altri wearable and at new technologies emerging. On the one hand smartwatch of the latest generation, on the other newborns AI pinwith potential yet to be discovered.
AR viewers and smart glasses
The acronym AR refers to Augmented realityor the possibility of integrating the perception of world physicist con digital information targeted.
I navigators represent a perfect example of augmented reality: they start from maps or real images and they “increase” them by inserting itineraries or points of interest specific.
As technology advances, augmented reality devices are expanding their range of functionality. To the point of even threatening smartphones.
This is the case for example of AR viewers of the AR headphones which are being developed respectively by Apple e Meta: think in this sense of two top-of-the-range products such as i Vision Pro oh Quest Pro.
Devices capable of play virtual screens with a very high rate of interaction. The user literally finds himself immersed in a digital environmentwhich can live through gaze, voice and movement.
Added to this are the latest generation smart glasses: a sort of “pocket” version of the viewers mentioned above. Which, however, still cannot compete with smartphones from the point of view of amount and the quality of functions available.
AI pin and other wearables
The new technologies that could take away the place of smartphones certainly do not end there AR viewers and smart glasses. Just think about the world of wearables and more precisely to smartwatch.
Nowadays the smart watches I am able to read or send messagesmake calls or video calls and browse the web.
But they make many other features available to the user: from geolocation al electronic payment. Until you get to a health monitoring deeper every day.
From many points of view, smartwatches are wearables already capable of replace smartphones. Especially if the user does not need a large screen.
Finally space for a last device which is being tested in recent months by several startups. Many professionals are used to calling them AI pin and it is indeed a working object attached to clothes just like a pin.
Some AI pins in development are meant for interact directly with artificial intelligence generative. So the user can use them to communicate with ChatGPTrather than Google Bard.
In the not too distant future, AI pins could become the perfect tool for obtaining all information and services that the user needs. Sending them smartphone and many other devices permanently retired.
